August Academy: We counsel. We coach. We care.

We are one of the best MBA admissions consultants in India. We prefer, however, to be known as coaches, counselors, guides or just friends who stay with you through the MBA admissions process. The word “consultant” seems too distant and business-like.

We are a member of AIGAC – the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants. This is a reflection of our commitment to the highest levels of integrity and service to candidates.

Here’s a fun video detailing our services:

Our results vouch for us:

Over the past four years, we’ve helped students belonging to the most competitive MBA applicant pool (Indian Engineers) get into several top 20 schools from across the world. We’ve worked with people in every time zone from Australia to California – we are extremely responsive.

Several of our students have received offers from top 20 schools in the US (including MIT Sloan, Yale, NYU Stern, UVa Darden, Ross, Cornell, Anderson, UNC Kenan-Flagler, McCombs, Tepper, Olin and Goizueta), top 10 schools in Europe (including London Business School, HEC Paris, IE, ESADE and Oxford), and top ranked schools in other regions (Rotman, Ivey, Schulich, the National University of Singapore and the Indian School of Business). In all, our students have won over $2,100,000 in scholarships so far. This is more than INR 14 crores – just in 2015, 2016 and 2017. (We just worked with two students in 2014) See more about our recent results here.

August Academy is a venture founded by an alumnus of IIT Madras and Stanford University. For more details, see here.

Our services:

We are able to achieve these results because we offer much more than an essay editing service. We are not typical MBA admissions consultants. What we offer is a full-fledged counselling package – we begin with a journey of self-discovery where we find out what really motivates you. We then go through an extended career counselling process to find out what careers fit you best. This in turn will help you prepare admirably well for the statement of career goals essay – which is the absolute centrepiece of your MBA application. See more about our counselling process here. More details about our packages can be obtained here.

Our approach:

Our approach is personal and friendly. We believe in spending a lot of time with a relatively small group of applicants – this helps us form extremely good relationships with all our students. This foundation helps us learn all about the little things that make you special. And once we’ve established that you are special, the rest of the MBA application process follows naturally!
